How Die-cast Housing Works

The principle of Die-cast Housing is mainly the injection molding principle of molten metal. Usually, the casting conditions are set by adjusting the speed, pressure, and switching position of the speed on the die casting machine, and the others are selected in the die casting mold row. Below, are the advantages of die casting:

1) High productivity, easy to realize mechanization and automation, and can produce thin-walled castings with complex shapes. The minimum wall thickness of die-casting zinc alloy is only 0.3mm, the minimum wall thickness of die-casting aluminum alloy is about 0.5mm, and the minimum casting hole diameter is 0.7mm.

2) The casting has high dimensional accuracy and small surface roughness. The dimensional tolerance level of die castings can reach CT3~CT6, and the surface roughness is generally Ra0.8~3.2μm.

3) Casting parts can be embedded in die castings, which not only saves valuable materials and machining time but also replaces the assembly process of components, which can save the assembly process and simplify the manufacturing process.
